A British Election.

st. Louis Globe.Democrat.
An Englishman who picks holes
in the mode of conducting elections
anywhere is in danger Of being met
by the retort, physician, heal thy
self" But while all kinds of fraud,
such as bogus qualifications, persona
tons and fictitious entries on the
registers abound in the old country,
there are one or two evils that the
ballot as held there makes impossible.
Ballot box stufiing is crime unheard
of, because it is impossible. Each
elector is supplied with a numbered
ballot paper torn from a book with
counterfoils, on which is printed the
name of every candidate nominated.
He takes this ticket to box provid-
ed for the purpose, and puts cross
against the candidate or candidates
for whom he votes. Then he folds
up the paper so as to show the num-
Der only, displays the number to the
judge and drops the ticket into the
box. When the votes are counted
the total must correspond with the
number of the tickets torn out from
the books at different polling stations,
and when it does not there has to be
a recount. All elections are held un-
der cover, usually in board schools,
and never at public houses or saloons,
and as soon as a man has voted he
has to quit. The police keep the side
walk clear of idlers or thugs, and any
man who tries to influence voter or
ascertain which way he has voted
has to do so well away from the poll
ing booth, or he is speedily arrested.
The way ballot-boxes are guarded on
their way to the place appointed for
the count and the system adopted in
counting make it absolutely necessary
to "vote fair" Amid the thousands
of charges brought after each general
election in reference to intimidation,
bribery, corruption and so forth such
charges as ballot-box stuffing, wilful
miscounting or refusing to receive
the vote Of qualified elector are
never heard of. A year ago a law
was passed in England making the
election void of any candidate who
hired one carriage or paid for one
glass of beer, personally or by his
agent on, on election day.

Faces.

California Patron.
The human face is the most beauti-
full and interesting of all studies; on
its clear open surface the Utmost
thoughts of each soul can almost be
read. What strange compound of
sadness and joy it is! Today wreath
ed around with loves sweetest roses
and smiles, it sheds sunlight on every
side: tomorrow the clouds lower, the
pitiless rain falls shrouding the face,
shutting out the sun and barring all
hopes.
There are some persons to whom we
are all attracted, whose faces bespeak
the charm of gentle and courteous
manners, whose friendly looks, warm
welcome and cherry tone, bear no
small share in creating the joys of
this life; while Others, with their aus
tere and cold Indifferent faces, their
superciliouS and scornful bearing are
responsible for more of human dis
tress and woe than their trancient
natures seem to warrant. Again,
there are faces bearing far off look
telling of happy by-gone days which
can never be recalled. Others there
are, in whose eyes we read unfathom-
able love, in whose every tone and
look there is kind anxiety, never
can we forget the sweet glances be-
slowed upon us; when years have
passed away, and our loved ones arc
no longer with us, the remembrance
Of their every smile will linger un-
dying in our heart of hearts.
Words are too weak to portray the
responsiveness of the deceitful face
One glance at the sinister smile for
ever lurking around the corners u

From Maine.

Some years ago my mothers health
began to decline; nervous prostration
ensued. She had no relish for food
and could not sleep, and without
strength of course she could not walk
without experiencing a great fatigue.
We used the ordinary remedies, but
without any permanent results.
Stimulants would refresh for the time
being, but did not build up the sys-
tenn. We heard of Swift's Specific
and its tonic effects. We secured
several packages of the dry form-the
powdered roots and 'herbs-and after
using some half dozen packages my
mother has regained her health and
strength. She is more like her for
mer self than she has been for years.
She owes her present vigorous health
to Swift's Specific. tits the best tonic

AFTER.

After the shower, the tranquil sun;
After the snow the emerald leaves;
Silver stars when the day is gone;
after the harvest, the golden sheaves.
After the clouds, the violet sky;
After the tempest, the lull of waves;
Quiet woods when the winds go by;
After the battle, peaceful graves.
After the knell, the wedding bells;
After the bud, the radiant rose:
Joyful greetings from sad farewells;
After our weeping, sweet repose.
After the burden, the blissful need
After the fight, the downy nest;
After the forrow, the waking seed;
After the shadowy river-rest.

A discovery of great antiquarian
interest was made in Aberdeen, Scot
land, not long since by a number Of
laborers excavating in Ross court, one
of the Oldest parts Of the city. Three
feet under the surface the laborers
came upon large bronze urn filed
to the brim with silver money. The
number of coins was about fifteen
thousand, and they are in excellent
preservation. They are all English
money of the reign of Edward /. and

quaries to have been part ofthe booty
secured during one of the raids into
England during the thirteenth

quent of late years and is so destructive

and weather prophets teach us that
tornadoes rarely or never occur in the
night time or forenoon. They nearly
always come between The hours Of
and O'Clock p. m.-generally from
four 70 six. Their course, nineteen
times out OF twenty is either eastward,
north-eastward or northward, but near
ly always north-eastward. North of
the equator they revolve from right to
left. South Of the equator from left to
right. They may sometimes be avoid

getting out OF their track, but that can
only be done when they are compare

has had many destructive tornadoes,
yet they have been mainly IN the east
ern part. Western Kansas has had but
few and Colorado has been nearly ex-
empt. They ordinarily follow water
courses, and do their worst work on
low ground, though there have been
exceptions TO this rule. Many people
have tornado caves and to provide
such caves is a wise thing to do. The

The HERALD does not favor strikes
when they can be avoided as they often
can be, but in cases like the above its
unstinted sympathy is with the labor
ing men. $3.50 is small enough pay
for an honest days work, and the Con-
tractor who wants to work men hard
for SI.25 is ''hogish'' Some of the
great railroads Of the country pay their
high officials $40, 200 and $50, GOO a year
salary, while they compel the section
men to work for Sl.OO to S1.1O per day.
Just think of a man paying rent, doctor
bills, &c, and supporting a family, on
$500 to $3.50 per year. The ordinary
labOrers on public works do not get
more than that, even if they labor every
working day of the year. No wonder
we have strikes, and labor troubles all
over the country. No wonder there is
distress among the working men and
women of this fair land No wonder
there is a spirit Of unrest and discomfort
prevalent everywhere. These 'Iabor
agitations" viii not grow less till there
is less of the shylock spirit manifested
by capitalists and employers. What
the country is badly in need Of is less Of
the grabbing, selfish spirit, and more
of the disposition to "do unto other as
we wonld they should do unto us -
